Families, businesses to mix for new Randolph event

Thursday

A collaborative effort between the Randolph/Avon/Canton Rotary Club and the Randolph Chamber of Commerce has resulted in a new event this summer.

The first Randolph Fun Day will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 4 at Powers Farm.

The event was created “to bring families out for a fun day and promote community involvement with local businesses,” said Kathie Ludecker, president of the Randolph Chamber of Commerce. “…Participation is a key factor” for the event to become a yearly attraction.”

The day is meant for both residents and businesses.

“We would love to see business participation as well as families enjoying the day,” Ludecker said.

Admission and most of the entertainment is free, although there will be small fees to pay for certain activities, such as the pony rides, and refreshments from food vendors. Entertainment will include things like a petting zoo, photo booth, and musical entertainment. Local merchants will sell their wares at the event.

A fair turnout is to be expected, and it is hopeful that the event will grow in future years, Ludecker said.

Merchants from the surrounding communities are invited to sell their merchandise at the event and to become a corporate sponsor as well. If interested, contact kludecker@thebankofcanton.com or call 781-830-6541.
